5 Comparison of Comparison of Alternatives materials during operation under the Project would be minimal. The impacts of the Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative would be similar to those of the Project. 5.4.1.10 Hydrology and Water Quality The Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative would result in more earthwork compared to the Project, resulting in an increased potential for erosion and sedimentation. The NPDES Construction General Permit and other existing regulatory requirements would still apply to this alternative to reduce potential impacts. The Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative would result in greater impacts to hydrology and water quality compared to the Project, due to the greater amount of earthwork. 5.4.1.11 Land Use and Planning The Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative would include battery energy storage facilities on the same parcels as the Project, such that this alternative would also not physically divide an established community and would not conflict with any applicable land use plan designed to mitigate environmental effects. The Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative would have similar impacts to land use and planning as the Project. 5.4.1.12 Mineral Resources The Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative would include solar facilities on the same parcel as the Project, such that this alternative would also have no impact on mineral resources. 5.4.1.13 Noise The Project would include soundwalls to reduce noise impacts at nearby residences, as needed. With implementation of this mitigation, the Project would comply with applicable regulations. The Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative would also include soundwalls as a mitigation measure, as needed; however, this alternative would shift the facility location to the east, away from noise sensitive receptors. Impacts from noise under this alternative would be reduced compared to the Project. 5.4.1.14 Public Services The Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative would result in similar demand for fire and emergency services, police, schools, parks, and other public services and would result in no impacts to public services, the same as the Project. 5.4.1.15 Transportation The Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative would require a similar workforce during construction and the same workforce during operations and would impact the same roads as the Project. This alternative would have a similar impact on transportation as the Project. 5.4.1.16 Tribal Cultural Resources Under the Three-Terrace Southeast Corner Alternative, potential impacts to tribal cultural resources during construction would be greater than the Project due to the additional earthwork required. Mitigation Measures CULA and CUL-2 would be required. Impacts would be greater than the Project.
